"boys, the cookies are all-"

sung-ha stopped right in the doorframe of namjoon's room when he saw what was going on.

the two boys were still on namjoon's floor, while jimin sat in namjoon's lap, making out with each other.

as soon as they heard sung-ha's voice, they practically leaped away from one another, onto opposite sides of the floor.

sung-ha was a bit surprised, eventually letting a smile settle on his face.

"well, well, well. looks like it's gonna be a merry christmas after all, then," sung-ha said, with a small laugh, "i've got christmas cookies out in the kitchen when you two are ready."

the two boys still remained frozen as sung-ha walked out of the room.

that is, until jimin broke out into laughter, finding the whole situation beyond embarrassing, but funny at the same time. namjoon was laughing as well, both the boys trying to calm down.

"we should have shut the door," jimin said, still laughing a little.

"yeah, that probably would have been a good idea."

the two just smiled at each other, feeling beyond happy with the atmosphere around them.

"i can't believe this is real," namjoon said, looking up again, "i can't believe you're real."

"i know. i'm pretty great, huh," jimin said, jokingly, with a smile.

neither of the boys could stop the constant smiles and giggles between them. they were ecstatic. it felt so surreal to get to hold and kiss each other and they couldn't believe it was actually happening.

"well... should we go get some cookies, then?" jimin asked, still grinning.

"yeah... i guess we should."

-

"those were the best ones yet, sung-ha. you outdid yourself," jimin said, taking the last bite of his cookie.

the two boys had gone out to the kitchen to eat some cookies, finding joon's grandfather out there waiting for them. namjoon was trying to keep the questions to a minimum and shut his grandfather down, but jimin didn't seem to have any problem explaining everything that had happened between them to sung-ha.

"glad you liked them," he said, "i'm gonna head to bed, but you boys have fun, alright?"

"okay! night," jimin said, "thanks again for the cookies!"

sung-ha headed to bed, leaving the two boys alone. joon's face was bright red, beyond embarrassed from the whole conversation, jimin not paying any mind to it and grabbing another cookie.

"so... what do you wanna do?" jimin asked, laughing a little when he looked over and saw how nervous namjoon seemed.

"...uh... i don't know," namjoon said, feeling even more nervous with jimin's gaze on him.

jimin smiled, reaching his hand over and intertwining it with joon's.

"do you want to go for a night walk?" jimin asked, "we could go to that lake by our school. it's really pretty there."

namjoon's lips parted a bit, looking over to jimin.

"you mean..," he started, "would it be like..."

"a date?" jimin asked, a small smile forming on his face, "yeah. if you want it to be."

the two just smiled at each other, laughing a bit. joon broke the eye contact, letting his head fall, hiding the blush that made it's way to his cheeks.
